The pangram is weak and 3 perfectly cromulent words (PLAGAL, ALEE, GALAX) are not included.
Yeah I remember jouncing but this was more recent, even... a more modern word that the stodgy old audience just couldn't abide.
I sometimes go to the hints/comments to see if there's more than one pangram etc., but I don't scroll down to where that one guy gives hints for every word because those are just spoilers.
after i do my best on my own, i only look for the hints one that is by KERRY D or something like that that give you the first 3 letters and how many words start with those 3 letters. i don't read the ones that read like crossword clues. ymmv.
I remember that there was a pretty dodgy word as the pangram a little while ago - Jouncingly or something like that (which my browser shows as misspelled).

Also some extremely arcane words (often medical/latin/greek) getting in, but perfectly good words not. Even if a thousand people mention luffing every time it comes up, or any of the perfectly good words, there's no movement.
People in the comments section lost their minds a couple of weeks ago when the pangram was a slang word or really a non-word like irregardless.

Part of my survive 2024 plan is to stay away from most comments sections. I have a couple of group chats that I'm really struggling with as well. So far I'm doing pretty good. Maybe this will make me a better (or just different) person. in the interim we'll just wait and see.
Or just possibly my strengths are elsewhere.
i don't read the comments, but that's where they post the hints every day - and sometimes they help so that's why i scroll through to look <shrug>

I'm getting frustrated with some slang/informal words working and other perfectly good words not. And sometimes foreign words are fine others not (today has a one letter variance where one works and the other doesn't). Also frustrated that I just can't find that many words or tune into this puzzle. It took me a while for connections, but I've kind of figured it out.

i'm with you on all this that you mention. and yes, connections took me a bit, also.
Several compound words - some of which I would probably use hyphens for, were I to write them. Hyphens are out of style these days though.

i didn't even make it to genius today...lost patience. just 32/48 for me.
i also checked out the "hints" and for some reason, they are defaulting in a different way the last 2 days, not sure i like it. harder to get to the actual hints and have to scroll through hundreds of "comments" to get to them. it's very annoying. oh, well!
